Beallara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream'
Blooming for the second time this past year. This one has 5" flowers and the plant is a real bully!

Your's is so lovely..  Mine's on the end of the blooming cycle, it was purchased 2 months ago, what's your secret for multiple yearly blooms. My first species of this type. Gotta tell Todd

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Cheryl, I am just lucky that my large plant has multiple growths. Each growth blooms at different times so that results in 2-3 blooms per year!

Very nice!!
I also have one from last spring and it didn't give me any flowers since then 
I keep it in bright light, only in the summer it receives sun. It was repotted (but not divided) last spring, after flowering. It has put 2 growths, they grew the size of the others but it refuzes to bloom!
I don't know what should I do ... the rest of them are flowering (other Oncidium Alliance hybrids) but not this one 
Great looking  |

Mine is in a south window so gets as much sun as I can give it....the Brassia hybrids, at least for me, seem to need more light than the other odont hybrids. They also prefer more heat but goodness knows I am NOT supplying that...the window where the Beallara grows dropped to 12 C (55 F) last night.

Beautiful. That low temp. might just trigger flowers too. I gonna move mine to the south window, I find that my brassia types are loving it there right now. But I'm a little afraid of all that southly light in the summer, could be too intense. Do you have a picture of the whole bully?
